I'm in Space?!
Why am I in space?

what do I do?

>>836248
Take stock of your inventory. Then go ask that guy back there why you are in space. (then be shocked by the fact that he's dead)

Then rummage around in that storage bin.

Headbutt that armored dude again.

>>836250
This.

what the hell is that behind you?!

Do you know what would be appropriate? To ask everyone and everything if we are actually in space. I think it's the most obvious.

>>836248
You must have hit your head pretty hard!

Oh well, you might as well explore your hallucination while you're here.

What's the last thing you remember doing?

if you dont want to continue freaking out, dont turn around and see the dead guy... I SAID DONT TU...oh, well

My friends and I set up an obstacle course on the roof of Residence's cafeteria a while back. It's pretty much the only reasonably flat place on campus where you can put up barricades and things without making someone mad.

I was practicing, I missed a jump landed hard and blacked out.

There's not much in here besides a half empty box of energy bars and some scrap. It might be a good place to stash things I find if I have too much to cary though.

(your stash is static, it will only change if you change it. Right now the only inventory space you have is what you're holding, if you want more you need to find a backpack or belt first.)

Oh... and the deadguy had a pistol.
I've never used one, but... well... something killed him...

>keep weapon
>Leave weapon in Stash

-

>Stay here and do something else,
>Move on

You should check if the gun works before lugging it around. Would be embarrassing if it just clicks when you have to use it.

>>836814
If you're hungry, go ahead and eat one of the bars. If you're not hungry, then save the bars for later and keep them with you.

>weapon
Keep it. You might need it.

>Stay or leave?
There's not much else to do here, so you might as well leave.

Keep in stash. Maybe some of the dead guy's armor will fit you, like the greaves and gauntlets.

check if it works, so you know, but carry it anyway, you may need it for bluffing

Don't shoot the pistol, it could attract attention and you don't want to waste ammo. Just examine it, maybe check that all the required bits still move around if you're familiar enough with the model. Also check how many shots are left in it.

Then leave.

any way you can tell the pistol is still loaded? I mean I still say take it with you cause even if you just look like you're packing heat other might think twice before trying to mess with you. I just want to know if we can actually use the gun or if it's only going to be good for bluffing until we can find some ammo for it.

>Oh... and the deadguy had a pistol.
Does it fit in your hand? Do your claws fit inside the trigger guard? (It was, apparently, designed for a different species). Can you tell if it's loaded, what kind of thing it even shoots, or if there's any kind of safety?

Did that guy's head just fall off or was just the empty helmet?
I am unclear.
And i say you should move, not much to do here.

Well, It's made for that suit's metal sausage fingers, so it's a bit big in my hand, but not unusable. It looks like there's a button on the side that turns the glowing part on and off. I have no idea what kind of pistol it is or how to check if it's loaded without firing it though.

Wait, what's this pull tab for?

The next room is bigger than the one you were in before. it's also warmer, and someone's gone to a lot of effort to barricade one of the doors.

Also there's an Avian and a Kurii asleep in the corner.

>>838337
Well that's cute. They've got a little space heater, too. What's in the cardboard box? Cans of food?

Walk over there, move the space heater out of reach, and wake them up. Keep your gun in full view but don't point it at them yet. Ask them why and how you are in space. What is this ship? Did they kidnap you?

>>838341
This.

Investigate box barricade.

look in the cardboard box and see what they have in it, then grab the empty tin can and throw it near them to wake them up from a distance. Ask where the fuck are you and why you are here... and I guess who they are and why are they here and if they have anything to do with you being here?

Also how do you know know what a Avian and kurii are? Have you seen or heard about them before or is that just a catch all name for things that look like them?

Have your gun pointed at either the ceiling or the floor, whichever is easier; thus showing that you are armed and dangerous, but not hostile. Call out to them and wave. If they respond in some way other than violence, then proceed to ask who they are, why are we in space, and how much they know about the long-dead soldier you woke up to.

"Don't shoot me! just take whatever you want and leave!" The avian interrupts in a panicked shout cowering,

The avian is still shaking, I don't think she trusts me.

"Shh... shh... It's okay Dacon..." The Kurii "Sorry, he's been jumpy ever since Kane got a bolt round to the face a few weeks ago. I'm Jewl. What did you want to know?"

"What is this place? how did I get here?"

"Oh... You're new..." Something in the way he says that, sounds like pity... "Have you ever heard the stories about the colony ship that went missing? The endurance?"

"...The one with a mind of it's own that abducts people?" I don't like where this conversation is going...

"That's the one. Welcome aboard."

Who else is aboard? Does the ship have a mad AI at the helm? What's beyond that blockade?

so uh right then... guess we should introduce ourselves and ask them who they are and what they can tell us about this place since they've been here longer then we have.

"Who else is on board? and who do I need to look out for?" I ask, trying to look calmer than i feel.

"There's a little of everything on board, a few have decided to stick with Kane and I for a while like Dacon did, but... Well, you get used to it. As to who to avoid, anyone who has something they think you want, or wants something they think you have, likely wont be too friendly. But that doesn't mean everyone's a lost cause, just be careful." Jewl explains, looking up now that Dacon is calmer. Brushing her paws along the back of his head seems to be helping with his mood. "barely enough to go around, and new supplies seem to pop up wherever they're most likely to be fought over. Kane was convinced the ship does that on purpose."

"Dunno. that's been here since before I arrived on board. When I asked Kane about it, he just said 'it was always there'."

Say "yes sure ill be your friend, as long as your friend's ok with being my friend too". Then if the kid feels less scared ask if it wants a hug then give it one.

Sit down and talk with them. See how much else we can learn about this place. (It's not like there's a reason to rush).

Like, even a crude map or idea of what's here would be a boon.

agree to be friends with the kid, then ask if their's any way you can stay in contact with them or if there's somewhere you could go to find them?

Then let them know you're going to explore a little bit to get a fell for the place and before you go ask what/who you should avoid while you're out explore/scavenging?

Agree to be the kid's friend, if it'll help him calm down. And since you're in this place, you'll be needing friends of your own to help you out. Which means that you'll also be Jewl's friend.

Quietly ask Jewl if the kid's parents are somewhere around here. And I say "ask quietly" because the kid might get upset and start crying if it turns out his parents aren't here and the Endurance took him from them and being reminded of that would make him sad.

Immediately he turns to Jewel and is giving her the most wide eyed, pleading look I've ever seen. for a moment Jewel looks likeshe has a scowl forming, but it's clear it's not real.

"oh all right. fine." she stated with false indignation, a genuine smile on her face. "Friends."

"YAY!"

>About location
"what do you know about this part of the ship?" I ask, turning my focus back to Jewel again. "do you have a map? what's the layout like?"

"No map, sorry." she shakes her head as she answers, "We're at the front of the ship, in what looks like it used to be quarters for colonists, I think our campsite used to be a cafeteria." Jewel explains, "This deck, as well as the ones above and below it are laid out like a giant apartment building. Assuming your idea of an apartment building includes baracades, traps, and years of damage anyway. I've never been to the other parts of the ship."

>heading out
"I'm going to head out, see if I can find anything useful." I explain, getting up and gesturing to the side entrance. "Any way i can keep in contact with you two?"

Jewel is about to answer when she gets cut off.

"I want to come with you!" Dacon insists, surprising both jewel and I.

"Of course! you're makin sure nothin happens to me, I'm making sure nothin happens to you, but who's doing that for Shasari? We gotta!"

"The kid has a point..." I begrudgingly agree. I have no idea what this place is like...

>parents
"uh, are Dacon's parents nearby?" I ask Jewel in a low tone as Dacon digs through the box a few paces behind us.

"I have no idea, he refuses to talk about that."

I have a feeling that you'd probably prefer this place with the lights out. but yeah, keep your gun up for now and peak around the nearest corner to make sure it's clear. Be ready to jump back and a moment's notice and make sure you keep an eye out for traps.

[Corner]

Chek the corner, but put your gun down, or turn it off, it gives you away.

And don't turn on the safety, that light is the only thing that's letting you see in the hallway. And if you happen to trip and drop the gun, good luck finding it when it's not glowing.

[Dodge successful, Dodge increased to 4 from practice.]

Well, I know where some tools are... now I need a way to disable a turret... preferably without getting shot.

what's the plan?

difficulty is the size of dice i'm going to roll, which is against your skill.
1d5 -> 1.
3 > 1
you succeeded.

>>844888
I think it works like this: difficulty determines what size die is rolled for the opposing roll. In this case, difficulty is 5 so it rolled a 1d5.

If it rolls under our skill (3), the dodge is successful. 1<3 so we dodged.
What would have happened if it rolled a 3?

Finger was still on the door button I guess.
Pry a long stick from those boards and just try to tip the turret over blindly.

>>844889
The plan is don't go in there again. Only real option is to try to shoot it before it shoots you, and that's not something I want to leave to chance. Though I guess if you had something you could toss around the side of the door without exposing yourself that would work. It'd just have to be heavy enough to knock the turret over.

Check the unlit door next.

3 or lower, no damage, above 3, you take the difference in damage, and since you only have 2 hp since your defense skill is low, a 5 would have rest you back to the last safe room you left.

Were Jewel and Dacon following you? If they were, make sure you warn them about that sentry gun in there!

>>844899
We can't die?

Dude, you can't just touch the insulated part of the wires to push them out of the way or walk around them?

>>844925
You can, and it still has consequences, but it's not the end. Think of it like having a checkpoint system and continues. it's there to avoid the element of random chance involved in challenges/traps feeling unfair (since RNG means that there may be times when you do everything right and still die). that said, if I notice people are abusing it I may cut it off.

>Unlit Door

This room is thankfully, devoid of deadly traps.
it also doesn't have much in it, there's a bed, some books, an empty bottle, a powerpack (that might be useful if i need to reload this thing...) and a wall locker. the other side of the room seems to be a washroom.

Investigate everything. Be careful for traps and try not to miss anything.

take power pack, search locker, examine books, and peek in the washroom. It might have something useful in their.

Hell if it wasn't for the deadly turret across the hall I would say you at least found a place to rest.

>>846517
Take the power pack, open the wall locker, look under the pillow, check if anything useful is hidden in the books and/or pillow case.

Then look in the washroom for anything useful.

Besides the lack of light, this seems like a much nicer place to stay than a boarded up hallway! After we finish meeting the neighbors, consider moving in here.

The pillow case can come off the pillow,but there's nothing else in or under them.
The wall locker has a flashlight in it, but it feels lighter than it should and won't turn on.

And the only thing in the books is a bunch of tech jargon and old schematics.Might make for some dull reading the next time I'm having trouble sleeping. Heh.

Now that I have the power pack, my inventory is full. if I want to carry more I need to put something down, find something to wear that has pockets, or find something to put my things in.

>I think someone's coming, they might have heard the turret go off
is that good or bad?
Either way you should probably find somewhere to hide. Oh and the flash light needs batteries, that's why it's light and not working.

Use the pillowcase as a bag

Are they coming from the direction you came from? You should probably get Jewel and Dacon into the empty room so they are out of the way of any potential lines of fire. Maybe the person coming is the one who set up the turret in the first place.

Peek out the door but keep your head as close to the floor as possible.
